Lufkin man accused of torturing stepson for 1 1/2 years

Lufkin man accused of torturing stepson for 1 1/2 years Another story where the so called mother allowed this to happen. " In one incident detailed in an arrest affidavit, Thomas allegedly tied the boys' arms and legs to a bed with dog leashes for leaving his backpack where the dog could reach it. Thomas then allegedly beat the boy across the stomach, holding a pillow over his face as his mother watched, Cross said." At least this case has a better ending. When the little boy told his teacher, she reported it and the child was removed from the home and is in foster care. Hopefully, his so called mother and her spouse will never be allowed anywhere near him again, and they both get the max - 20 years.
